Sean Salisbury and John Clayton on ESPN, (1 Viewer)

Thanks Mapmaker.

Mel said that starting next sat. 11:00 to 3:00 (before the Huddle), he will start his college preview. That will be weekly until every conferance is covered. So, you might want to tune in early each week for that.

This weeks show starts in a few minutes. I just wanted to add last weeks review

Giant Tension Developing?

June 17 show in review

with John Clayton and Sean Salisbury

• John gives us the latest on Ben Roethlisberger and the timetable for his return, which sounds like the beginning of training camp. He reviewed the details of the accident. John also touched on Thomas Jones and Nathan Vasher, both Bears players who are unhappy with their contracts.

• This Week In FOUR DOWNS- Would the Steelers bring back Tommy Maddox for depth at the QB position? (likely not but it was an option earlier this week); Will Patriots WR Deion Branch report to training camp on time?; Is there a riff developing between Eli Manning and Plaxico Burress?; Do the Redskins have the pieces after a busy offseason to make a deep playoff run?

• Ralph Vacchiano, NY Daily News Giants Reporter- Thinks there is a bit of tension between Eli Manning and Plaxico Burress stemming from their playoff loss to Carolina. This is something we should watch closely.

• Adam Archuleta, Redskins S- Talks about his transition from the Rams to the Redskins and the added responsibilities that he takes on in the 'Skins defense. Archuleta also discusses his recovery from a back injury that has plagued him since 2003, and how he got to such a "severe low point" that he didn't know if he'd be able to keep playing football.

• Marvin Lewis, Bengals Head Coach- Updates us on Carson Palmer's rehab. "It's coming along very well; he's way ahead of schedule. He's progressing so well that you'd never know that anything was wrong with him." Lewis adds that Palmer will not go on the P.U.P list and will be on the roster for training camp and be available to play pre-season games. Lewis also addresses the legal issues involving Chris Henry and A.J. Nicholson. "They know where they stand; they don't have anything to stand on. They have a long way to go to make our football team, and they understand that. We don't want to have anyone around us we cant count on all the time. They haven't been convicted of anything, but they have to keep better company. I don't want to read about us anymore unless we're scoring touchdowns or keeping people from scoring them. They need to learn right from wrong; that's the biggest issue."

• Sal Paolantonio, ESPN- Spent time this week at both the Jets and Giants mini-camps. Sal says these two teams are so completely different. The Giants are loaded with talent, and the Jets are struggling to put any talent on the field. Sal says the Jets' QB situation is in such dire straits, it wouldn't be a surprise to see rookie Kellen Clemens play sooner than people think.

• Perry Lefko, Toronto Sun- From the Rogers Centre in Toronto, where Ricky Williams made his regular season debut for the Argonauts. Perry talked about Ricky's first half of CFL football (three carries, eight yards) and how the Argonauts are using him in their offense. Ricky ended up having an explosive second half, finishing with 95 yards.

• Mike Felger, Boston Herald Patriots Reporter/ESPN Radio 890- There are a lot of holes on this Patriots team, especially at CB, LB and WR positions. Mike says the Patriots are talking to free agent CB Ty Law and are hoping he'll return. Despite the holes, Mike feels the Patriots are still the team to beat in the AFC East. Mike also updates us on Deion Branch's contract issues. "Branch wants to be paid like a No. 1 receiver, but you don't think of Branch when you think of No. 1 receivers."

 
Early bunp again today.

Mel Kiper told Amy Lawrence that it's July and ESPN alows him to talk 50 to 75% football after July 1st. :pickle: :pickle:

Amy said she will bring him back to topical stuff (BB Golf etc.). Mel said,we'llsee. :pickle:

Mel is starting his college football conference preview today. Between 12;00 and 1:00 EST time today.

Amy just said that nMel is giving his NBA sod when they get back. No matter, it's all good stuff and John Clayton will have Randy Moss (I think) on The Huddle today.

Damn I love FB.

Giant Tension Developing?

June 24 show in review

• John says that Marshall Faulk is willing to play one more season but that the Rams are having questions about bringing him back. Also, the ESPN.com NFL Power Rankings are out... Sean asks how on Earth the Seahawks are the #1 team? John defends the pick of the Seahawks based on their 2006 schedule.

• This week in 4 DOWNS: Should Bengals coach Marvin Lewis make an example of one of his legally challenged players? (soon, no, but you may see something in training camp, depending on how these guys perform) Would the Bears actually permanently demote Thomas Jones and Lance Briggs due to their failure to report to workouts because of contract issues? (Briggs wont lose his job, Jones could lose his job) How will the Titans do with Billy Volek at QB? (not that great, Vince Young's going to see the field at some point) Are the Giants worried about the Eli Manning/Plaxico Burress relationship? (No chance)

• Mike Haynes, member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame/NFL Vice President of Player Development: Mike talks about the Rookie Symposium that starts tomorrow in San Diego and talks about the messages that they intend to deliver to this year's rookie class, including the message that players don't play in the NFL for very long so they should continue their education and make wise financial and life decisions.

• Seattle Seahawks DE Bryce Fisher: Bryce talks about his great season last season and where he thinks his game is going. He also talks about the impact Lofa Tatupu had on the Seahawks defense last season in their run to the Super Bowl, and how he thinks new LB Julian Peterson will fit in to the Seahawks already talented defense. On the offensive side of the ball, Bryce talks about the loss of Steve Hutchinson and how he thinks that will impact Shaun Alexander.

• John updates us on free agent QB Jay Fiedler, who may now end up with the Buccaneers after Bucs backup QB Luke McCown suffers a knee injury in camp this week. The guys also run through some of the top teams in the ESPN.com Power Rankings and break down what its going to take for the top teams in the rankings to meet those high expectations. • This week's Huddle Headlines from John Clayton: Marshall Faulk isn't talking retirement, but there's plenty of retirement talk surrounding him... Buccaneers in search for a new backup QB after Luke McCown tears his ACL... Dominick Davis is slow coming off a knee injury, making the Texans look even worse for not taking Reggie Bush... supplemental draft coming up, former Virginia LB Ahmad Brooks worked out for 22 teams and the 49'ers may give up a 2nd round pick to get him, but off the field issues have raised some flags... WR Robert Ferguson may be cut by the Packers.

While I was out, I heard part of the segment with Randy Moss before it went over to local programming. I must have missed something because he was talking about giving back to his home state and his people by bringing smoothie franchises to W. Virginia. :unsure:

So, is he giving away some of the proceeds, or does he just think people really want access to smoothies????? :crazy:

 
Bump for todays show.

I looked up last years link again today and noticed that on July 8, 2005 Salisbary said starting Monday NFL Live will return. So, I looked at next weeks ESPN schedule and sure enough Monday at 4:00 est NFL Live is on.

Sorry if I stole Sean's thunder. He might forget to mention it.

We gotta make up a question one week and see if they answer it, while we are listening.

Now last weeks recap:

Walker Had Love, Passion For Players, Game

July 1 show in review

• Top Stories- Northwestern coach Randy Walker passes, Jay Fiedler signs with Tampa Bay, Ed Reed gets a big contract extension, and there's a potential showdown between the Saints and Reggie Bush.

• This Week in 4 Downs- Did the Patriots make a mistake by trading for Johnathan Sullivan? (He was 20 pounds overweight when he reported... this was a bad move!); Should NFL players agree to blood testing for HGH? (no way, not yet); Will Ben Roethlisberger be ready for the start of training camp?; and Should the Titans add a veteran QB to compete with Billy Volek? (no, go with Volek and develop Vince Young).

• Randy Moss, Raiders WR- Randy discusses his new juice business with our own Mystery Achiever, the frustrating groin injury he suffered last season and how low he got emotionally dealing with that, and his thoughts on new coach Art Shell. Randy also talked to Daunte Culpepper while he was rehabbing his knee and being traded, and according to Randy, Daunte is doing well. We'll know soon if he's ready to play at the beginning of the 2006 season.

• Travis Prentice, Fmr. NFL RB and Miami (OH) Star- Played under coach Walker at Miami and shared his memories. "He was a task master, but you respected the guy so much. You didn't always get along with him because he ran you to death, but we were always the best conditioned team in the fourth quarter and you always won and we beat a couple of highly ranked teams. He was a coach's coach; he had his rules; and everybody was going to follow them no matter what, and we won with his rules and his philosophy."

• Brett Basanez, Panthers QB / Fmr. Northwestern QB- Recalled his days playing for coach Walker. "He's a hard nosed coach; he's a tough coach to play for; he's going to push you and push you and put you in places you've never been, and he wanted you to excel in those. At the same time, as soon as that whistle blows and practice is over, he's got his arm around you, telling you how much he cares about you and loves you, and Mrs. Walker is bringing their dog on the field, and coach is running around with his dog Magic like a little boy. He had such passion for the game but also such love and passion for his players."

• John Clayton's In The Huddle Headlines- Ben Roethlisberger is lifting weights and should be healthy and ready to go for the first week of practice. The Bears sign Hunter Hillenmeyer to a contract extension and make a fair offer to Lance Briggs. A 3rd or 4th round draft pick will be the price a team will have to pay to acquire Saints RB Michael Bennett. The Texans and Dolphins are interested; Four or five teams are interested in Broncos WR Ashley Lelie. Mike Shanahan is still asking for a lot in return. Marshall Faulk still wants to play, but will the Rams let him? Also, Tim Couch's career will likely be over with a second shoulder surgery.

• Ken Hamlin, Seahawks S- After missing most of last season with head injuries suffered in a nightclub accident, Hamlin said on a scale of 1 to 10, he feels like an 11. He can't wait to get back on the field. Hamlin talked about the original "iffy" prognosis, his long road to recovery, and his confidence that he'll soon be cleared to return to the field.

Now last weks recap:

Hey Bill, Be Cautious With Big Ben

July 8 show in review

• This Week in Four Downs- How long will it take for Jay Cutler to beat out Jake Plummer for the Broncos QB job? (Both agree that 2007 is the year of Jay Cutler); Is Chester Taylor the answer to the Vikings running back questions? (John-- Not sold on Taylor, little pudgy in mini-camp. Sean-- I'll give him the benefit of the doubt); Are the Arizona Cardinals good enough to make the playoffs? (Both guys agree that while the Cardinals are better, they just don't see it this season); Should Bill Cowher allow Ben Roethlisberger to practice when training camp beings if Roethlisberger says he's ready to go? (Both guys agree-- Cowher should be very cautious, let him throw, but don't put him in live contact drills, don't let anyone hit him.)

• John's Undeniable Truths For 2006- Don't expect HGH testing in the NFL anytime soon. Ravens coach Brian Billick is on the hot seat, but his Ravens wont let him down. Roethlisberger matures into a Pro Bowl QB, in part because of the motorcycle accident. The Panthers are the most talented team in the NFL, but they'll find it hard to get one of the top two seeds. Terrell Owens will have a few spats with Drew Bledsoe but not enough to tear the team apart. Peyton Manning will have his best postseason ever thanks to a new rule that will allow quarterbacks to handle game balls prior to the game. Scoring in the NFL is going to drop, which will force the Competition Committee to find ways to reopen the offense. And Randy Moss will bounce back and have a great season with the Raiders.

• Huddle Headlines- Texans RB Domanick Davis' knee has been very slow to heal and the team is willing to make a deal for Saints RB Michael Bennett. Broncos punter Todd Sauerbrun is going to miss the first month after being suspended for a positive test for ephedra. What will the Broncos do? Eddie DeBartolo may get back into the NFL in a minority ownership role. Supplemental Draft coming up July 13th... what are teams willing to give up for former Virginia LB Ahmad Brooks. The Superdome roof is just about fixed up, and the stadium should be ready for the NFL this season. Ty Law update... seems now he's going to end up with the Patriots, nobody wants to pay him the money he wants. Mike Williams, former Bills No. 1 pick / current Jaguars lineman, may get cut, as he's ballooned to over 400 pounds. Bears LB Lance Briggs turns down $5.5 million and will likely test the free agent market after next season.

• Joe Horn, Saints WR- It's great to have a guy like Drew Brees on board because he brings a lot of experience to a demanding position. Horn says that Brees is playing with a chip on his shoulder and is eager to prove his doubters wrong. Horn also raves about Reggie Bush, who he has given the name, "Baby Matrix." Who are Joe's top two NFL receivers? Steve Smith and Terrell Owens.

• Mike Rucker, Panthers DE- The playoff loss to Seattle is still in his memory, and he'll never forget how bad he felt after that loss. But this team is motivated to prove all of the ESPN people right when they picked the Panthers as Super Bowl champs in SportsCenter's Ultimate Playoffs. Ruck also updated us on the health of DT Kris Jenkins and tells us that Keyshawn Johnson is going to fit in just fine in Carolina.

• Tatum Bell, Broncos RB- Bell says the playoff loss to Pittsburgh still leaves a bitter taste in his mouth, and he's ready for another round with the Steelers for a bit of revenge. Tatum also talks about going into the season as the starting running back, what he's been doing to improve his game, and how Mike Shanahan has challenged him to raise his game. Bell also gives us his first impression of first round pick Jay Cutler.

 
Bump for todays show.

Clayton said earlier today that he's packing his bag for 3 weeks of Training Camp Previews. He will only be home to do The Huddel every week.

Camps are open.

Now for last weeks recap:

July 15 show in review

• Has Ben Roethlisberger learned anything from his motorcycle accident? We listen to some of his thoughts from his interview with Jim Rome. Also, the Bengals have had quite an off-season dealing with issues on their roster, we discuss how they are handling those issues.

• Which running back is better, Shaun Alexander or Larry Johnson? We also talk about the legacy of Rams RB Marshall Faulk, as a decision on his future is coming soon.

• Rams QB Marc Bulger says that selfishly, he wants Marshall Faulk to return, but whatever is decided he it will be great to have some finality to it, as it has been hovering over their heads for a while now. Bulger also talks about how much former coach Mike Martz meant to his career, updates us on how his shoulder is feeling, and to heck with the offense, he's thrilled to death about the defensive changes that were made in the off-season.

• Buccaneers WR David Boston talks about trying to overcome the injuries he's battled through in the past few seasons, and says he's feeling as good right now as he's ever felt in his life, and is looking forward to regaining his Pro Bowl form. Boston talks about hooking up with a fellow Buckeye in Joey Galloway and how Galloway's helped him pick up the Bucs offense.

• In case you haven't heard, Terrell Owens has a new book out, and according to amazon.com, it's a complete failure. Maybe it didn't help that TO claimed that he was misquoted in his own book.

• This week in 4 Downs: Has Ben Roethlisberger learned anything from the accident that will help him on the field? Has Ricky Williams succeeded or failed in his brief stint in the CFL? Is Dennis Green the right coach to lead the Cardinals to the playoffs? Which running back will have the better season, Shaun Alexander or Larry Johnson?

• Pat Fitzgerald, the new head football coach at Northwestern, says it was devastating to lose a friend and mentor in Randy Walker and it still to this day doesn't seem real that he's gone. "Consistency within chaos" is how he describes what he's trying to do with the program to keep things as close to the way they were under coach Walker as possible.

• Baltimore Ravens S Ed Reed talks about the big contract extension he signed recently. Reed also talks about the switch in defensive philosophies in Baltimore and the addition of QB Steve McNair, saying that it was great to have a veteran on the team that could help the team and mentor Kyle Boller.

• The guys get back into the difficult off-season the Bengals have gone through with the various legal issues, and ponder the question, "how many guys with questionable character can you take on before it becomes a big problem for the team?" The guys also discuss the Daunte Culpepper trade to Miami--Robert thinks that Culpepper's interest in more money, not the infamous "Love Boat" incident, was the reason he wanted out of Minnesota.

• Today in John Clayton's Huddle Headlines--Bengals owner Mike Brown releases a statement defending the pick of Ahmad Brooks in the Supplemental Draft... Texans release OL Todd Wade... Rams are probably going to put Marshall Faulk on IR... Priest Holmes will be placed on the PUP list, Chiefs will give him a chance to make it back to play in October... Michael Bennett update, 4 teams with legitimate interest: Dolphins/Rams/Texans/Chiefs... Chad Pennington has the best chance to be the Jets' starting quarterback... 4 teams interested in Ty Law: Titans/Seahawks/Patriots/Chiefs... Jeff Backus gets a big contract extension with the Lions.

• Minnesota Vikings TE Jermaine Wiggins talks about the transition from Mike Tice to Brad Childress and the up and down 2005 season that led to Tice's firing. Wiggins also talks about the loss of Daunte Culpepper, saying that it's just part of the business of football and that the team is more focused on the future than the past, thanks to some of the player moves that were made in the off-season.

They are talking football.

Now last weeks recap:

July 22 show in review

• John gives us the details on the contract signed today by Browns 1st round pick Kamerion Wimbley. Also, the Eagles have opened up camp, the guys talk about where the Eagles have improve if they expect to compete in the tough NFC East.

• This week in 4 Downs: How big a mistake would it be for Reggie Bush to hold out? Will Terrell Owens succeed or fail in his 1st season as a Cowboy? Can Donovan McNabb lead the Eagles back to the playoffs? Is this the year David Carr finally becomes a big time quarterback?

• Washington Redskins Vice President of Football Operations Vinny Cerrato swears that he heard Sean say that he'd walk naked from Bristol to D.C. if the Redskins made the playoffs, Sean swears however it was the Super Bowl, not the playoffs. Vinny talks about a busy off-season for the Redskins and what we should expect from his team in 2006.

• It's Huddle's Big East Preview! Pitt head coach Dave Wannstedt gives us the scoop on his Pittsburgh Panthers and what to expect for the 2006 season. Wannstedt says the 2005 campaign was a little disappointing and he thought they'd be a little better than they were, but at the same time, it wasn't like they expected to win the National Championship, and that thanks to a great spring practice and recruiting class, things look to only get better.

• Philadelphia Eagles rookie tackle Winston Justice joins us from training camp and talks about his first impressions of QB Donovan McNabb and Andy Reid, the adjustments from the college game to the pro game, and what his draft day was like, considering he was drafted in the 2nd round and was projected to be a first round pick. • It sounds like we've seen the last of both Marshall Faulk and Priest Holmes. The guys discuss their legacies, and talk about whether or not Priest Holmes did enough to warrant Hall of Fame consideration.

• This week in John Clayton's Huddle Headlines: Cowboys sign TE Jason Witten to a new 6 year contract. Saints plan to hold onto RB Michael Bennett until they get a deal done with Reggie Bush-- 5 teams still very interested in Bennett. Titans RB Chris Brown is #1 on the depth chart and he's put in a trade request, perhaps fearing that he's about to be passed on the depth chart. Saints cut S Dwight Smith. Vikings have no plans on re-working Brad Johnson's contract even though he's still making backup money. Browns come to terms with this year's #1 pick Kamerion Wimbley. • The guys talk about some running backs who are under tremendous pressure to perform this year: Larry Johnson, Cedric Benson, Corey Dillon, Julius Jones, and whoever is the starter in Indianapolis.

• Cincinnati Bengals LB Landon Johnson says the Bengals are working hard to put all of the legal issues behind them and just focus on football, but it's definitely something that's hanging over the team. Johnson talks about the responsibilities that are being thrust upon him with the suspension to Odell Thurman and what he's done to prepare for those responsibilities.

Late bump for todays show.

I have the only acceptable excuse, I was drafting my main league.

Last week's recap:

July 29 show in review

• John Clayton stopped in Oxnard, CA at Cowboys camp to watch what could become the circus headlined by Terrell Owens and Bill Parcells. Sean and John talked about strife in the clubhouse and how it can be diffused.

• 4 DOWNS: When does T.O. meltdown? How do the Browns survive the LeCharles Bentley injury? How does Art Shell address Jerry Porter's trade demand? And will Reggie Bush's contract negotiation critical in keeping the Saints in New Orleans? We tackled those questions in this edition.

• Marvin Lewis, no matter what he says, has a problem on his hands with all of the off-the-field issues, and Sean is incensed about the contract that newly drafted TE Vernon Davis received from the 49ers.

• Mickey Loomis, New Orleans Saints GM is right in the middle of contract negotiations with Reggie Bush, a signing that could be vital to the team. This all started way back the night before the draft: "When we found out that Houston agreed to terms with Mario Williams, we were surprised but not shocked."

• Training Camp Reports: Mike Chappell, Indianapolis Star Colts reporter with the latest on the Colts a day before they start training camp and Paul Calvisi, Cardinals radio sideline reporter on the new feeling in Arizona camp.

• College Campus News: Arkansas' starting running back may miss the USC game because of a bar fight, while Steve Spurrier feels his team is ready to make a leap into the rarified air of the storied teams in the SEC.

• Phil Savage, Cleveland Browns GM on facing a challenge with starting center LeCharles Bentley out for the season.

• Training Camp Reports: Ed Bouchette, Pittsburgh Post Gazette Steelers writer checks in on the Super Bowl champs and Clare Farnsworth, Seattle Post Intelligencer Seahawks beat writer gives us news on the runners-up.

• Tiki Barber has hinted he may be thinking retirement. It seems that certain members of the Giants organization are not happy with his off-the-field exploits. Tiki still says he would love to finish his career with a Super Bowl ring in New York.

There is a special Huddle on right now. They are talking football.

Last weeks recap:

August 6 show in review

live from the Pro Football Hall of Fame

• There are 6 new members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. What a goose-pimple inducing day and Sean said it was very strange to see huge former players get as nervous as they did.

• 4 Downs touched on Brett Favre REALLY liking the Packers this year, which running back should start for the Bears, does Tom Brady actually have an injury is is he just getting Deion Branch's back and is Art Shell looking for a new signal caller? All questions answered by Sean and John.

• The strong, forceful voice of a statesman will be what we remember of Rayfield Wright's speech.

• Huddle Headlines brought us news on Terrell Owens' hamstring and Matt Leinart's hold out in Arizona.

• Kevin Gogan, fmr. Dallas Cowboy OL was a teammate of Troy Aikman's when the Cowboys were dominating the NFL in the early 90's and he told a good story about the Cowboys after-party last night. Norv Turner stood up at the end and announced, "Okay guys, practice at 9AM tomorrow." They all had a good laugh at that.

• Huddle Headlines brought us news on a Pittsburgh lineman who didn't learn from Ben Roethlisberger's motorcycle accident and T.J. Duckett available plus a snippet of Sara White accepting her late husband's induction to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

• John Madden means something different to all kinds of generations. To us older fans, he was a Super Bowl winning coach. To the Gen Xers, he is the most enjoyable broadcaster in the NFL. To the younger kids, he has the most popular sports video game available. He is now a Hall of Famer.

• Pat Summerall, former NFL broadcaster and longtime John Madden partner joined us to tell us a great story about the first time he worked with Madden.

• Frank Caliendo did his best to keep Sean and Jon in stitches with his John Madden impression.

 
Bump for todays show.

Last week recap:

August 12 show in review

• Chad Pennington took a hit in his second series last night and there are whispers that he might be hurt. Can Chad Pennington hold up for an NFL season? Should Pennington have even been on the field for that second series, given what he's coming back from? Speaking of QBs, 49ers QB Alex Smith looked great last night--Norv Turner is having quite an impact on him early on.

• Today in 4 Downs: The NFL has named a new commissioner. What is Paul Tagliabue's legacy? Broncos RB Mike Bell was promoted to #1 on the depth chart, will he stay #1 when the regular season starts? Has Curtis Martin played his last game in the NFL? What is the state of the Bengals following Eric Steinbach's arrest?

• Broncos RB Mike Bell, an undrafted rookie out of Arizona, tells us about the day he found out he was promoted to #1 on the depth chart. As an undrafted free agent, Bell feared the worst when coach Shanahan called him into the office, but as it turned out, his dream had come true. Mike also tells us how Tatum Bell and Ron Dayne have treated him since the news.

• John Clayton's Huddle Headlines: Matt Leinart contract update--coming along VERY slowly; Falcons are shopping T.J. Duckett; Titans have no plans on trading Chris Brown, Travis Henry, or LenDale White; Bears are interested in Broncos WR Ashley Lelie; Chad Pennington may gave hurt his shoulder; Atlanta looking at free agent DT Grady Jackson to come in and stop the run.

• Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz gives us an inside look at the 2006 Iowa Hawkeyes. Ferentz is looking forward to seeing what Sr. QB Drew Tate can do now that he has a couple of years under his belt, but some key losses on defense do concern coach. Ferentz also tells us how tough its going to be for him and the Big 10 Conference to enter this season following the death of his old friend, Northwestern coach Randy Walker.

• What kind of impact has former Rams coach Mike Martz had on the Detroit Lions? The guys talk about Detroit's performance last night and how the addition of Martz and new QB Jon Kitna are working out so far. The guys also discuss Ben Roethlisberger's performance in his pre-season debut, which lasted all of one series, and how good he looked.

• NFL Camp Reports: We check in with Lions reporter Curt Sylvester, Falcons reporter Steve Wyche from the Atlanta Journal Constitution, and Jets reporter Rich Cimini from the New York Daily News to get the inside scoop on their teams.

• Cleveland Browns QB Charlie Frye says losing the top two centers on the roster--LeCharles Bentley and Bob Hallen--has made life a little rough on him and the team because it's important for the quarterback and center to develop a relationship early in camp, so that the quarterback can focus on reading coverages and blitzes and not have to worry about whether or not the snap is going to go well. Frye also says its great to have Kellen Winslow, Jr. and Braylon Edwards back because of the spark they bring to the offense.

• Minnesota Vikings S Darren Sharper tells us about the differences between old coach Mike Tice and new coach Brad Childress, and also talks about what it's going to take for the Vikings to become a top flight defense. Sharper also talks about the additions of RB Chester Taylor and G Steve Hutchinson and what they bring to Minnesota's offense.

• Roger Goodell is replacing Paul Tagliabue as NFL Commissioner. The guys reflect on Paul Tagliabue's time in office and all the major decisions Tagliabue was involved with, and talk about what Goodell will have to do to improve an already solid product. John also tells us there is some legitimacy to the rumors that Steelers coach Bill Cowher will retire after the 2006 season.

EDIT: From FBGs blog.

Jets, Falcons :: RB, WR

Falcons Considering Trading Duckett

Steve Wyche, Atlanta Journal Constitution - [Full Article]

According to sources, at least four teams have contacted the Atlanta Falcons about possibly acquiring running back T.J. Duckett. The sources would only confirm the New York Jets as one of the teams with a possible Justin McCareins-for-Duckett scenario seeming likely since the Falcons are in the market for a No. 3 wide receiver. No trade involving Duckett is expected before Saturday's pre-season game against Green Bay, which he is expected to start.

Bump for todays show.

Last weeks recap:

August 19 show in review

• Junior Seau is ending his short retirement to join the Patriots. The guys discuss what this may say about the state of the Patriots. Also, why is Tom Brady being linked to BALCO, and why should he have to defend himself? The guys also recap some of last night's pre-season games.

• Today in 4 Downs: Does Bill Parcells have control over Terrell Owens? Can teams possibly prepare for the regular season with two pre-season games? Is there a QB controversy brewing in Chicago between Rex Grossman and Brian Griese? Is Eli Manning ready to become a big time NFL QB?

• Who are the top 10 NFL QB's? Mike and John begin their fantasy preview by looking at the QB's besides Peyton Manning who can have a major impact this season.

• Today in John Clayton's Huddle Headlines: Four teams, including the Jets, are interested in Falcons RB T.J. Duckett. Raiders QB Aaron Brooks is facing a big pre-season game against the 49ers -- if he doesn't play well, he may miss out on the starting job. The Saints have offered the Chargers a 4th round pick for LB Donnie Edwards. The Texans are concerned about their running game -- Domanick Davis's knee has been slow to heal. Lions WR Mike Williams has a new diet, hoping to get in shape and be a factor for the Lions. Eagles WR Jeremy Bloom may have to go on IR because of a hamstring injury. Jets QB Patrick Ramsey is fighting to make the team. The Panthers are very deep at RB and may end up cutting Eric Shelton, a second round pick last year by the team.

• ESPN.com's Pat Forde helps us break down the pre-season Top 25 College Football poll, which was released Friday. Pat says that Ohio State, the pre-season No. 1, will not be the typical Jim Tressel team. They will be more of an offensive team than what we're used to because of guys like Troy Smith and Ted Ginn Jr. Pat also talks about some of the big questions that will be answered this season -- how will Texas do without Vince Young? How will USC do without Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart? How comfortable will Florida QB Chris Leak be in Urban Meyer's offense? Can Notre Dame challenge for the National Championship with a tough schedule?

• Who are the top NFL RB's? We continue our fantasy preview by looking at the league's top rushers.

On offense, Dorrell talks about the losses of record setting QB Drew Olson, RB Maurice Drew, and Mackey Award-winning TE Marcedes Lewis. He shares his expectations for the offense this season and reflects on his team's 10-win season last year, which matched the school record for wins in a season.

• What are we talkin' about, PRACTICE? Are we making too much of Terrell Owens/Bill Parcells relationship? Is Parcells in full control of Terrell Owens, or is T.O. on his way to disrupting another franchise? The guys discuss the state of the Cowboys.

• Which teams have the best defense? We conclude our fantasy preview by looking at the top NFL defenses, and John gives us the state of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

John says Deion Branch's holdout will not work. The Patriots gave Branch permission to seek a deal, but in the end, John says he will remain a Patriot. Also, Matt Leinart has been in camp for less than two weeks and he's already moved up to No. 2 on the depth chart in Arizona, thanks in part to a great performance Friday night. Finally, T.J.

Should Bill Parcells bench Terrell Owens for the season opener? Are the Dolphins ready to pass the Pats?

Pittsburgh Steelers were trying like crazy to trade for T.J. Duckett because they're concerned about the RB position after Willie Parker. The Cincinnati Bengals may bring Drew Henson in after Henson was waived by the Cowboys this week. Rams likely to be the team to sign free agent RB Stephen Davis. Dont expect to see Chargers LB Donnie Edwards wearing a Saints uniform.• What is the state of the Broncos? Is it going to be Tatum or Mike Bell at running back?
